If that wasn't so likely it would be funny! As it is nothing would surprise me.

How big a place is it? There are quite a lot of circuits there, but maybe you could change to a single metal board and all RCBO in the same space?I don’t like the plastic boards in close proximity to foam insulation
The old one's are the bestFollowing is the contents of a conversation between a client and a
representative of Word Perfect support desk.
This is a genuine text, from a record of a telephony system.
The client support employee has been fired, and the client is
now prosecuting the company for insulting and not providing support
according to the contract between them:
"WordPerfect Technical Desk, may I help you?"
"Yes, well, I'm having trouble with WordPerfect."
"What sort of trouble?"
"Well, I was typing along, and all of a sudden the words went away."
"Went away?"
"They disappeared."
"Hmm. So what does your screen look like now?"
"Nothing."
"Nothing."
"It's blank; it won't accept anything that I type."
"Are you still in WordPerfect, or did you get out?"
"How do I tell?"
"Can you see the C: prompt on the screen?"
"What's a sea-prompt?"
"Never mind. Can you move the cursor around on the screen?"
"There isn't any cursor. I told you, it won't accept anything I type!"
"Does your monitor have a power indicator?"
"What's a monitor?"
"It's the thing with the screen on it that looks like a TV. Does it have a
little light that tells you when it's on?"
"I don't know."
"Well, then look on the back of the monitor and find where the power cord
goes into it. Can you see that?"
"Yes, I think so."
"Great. Follow the cord to the plug, and tell me if it's plugged into the
wall."
"......Yes, it is."
"When you were behind the monitor, did you notice that there were two cables
plugged into the back of it not just one?"
"No."
"Well, there are. I need you to look back there again and find the other
cable."
"......Okay, here it is."
Follow it for me, and tell me if it's plugged securely into the back of the
computer."
"I can't reach."
"Uh-huh. Well, can you see if it is?"
"No."
"Even if you put your knee on something and lean way over?"
"Oh, it's not because I don't have the right angle. It's because it's dark."
"Dark?"
"Yes, the office light is off, and the only light I have is coming in from
the window."
"Well, turn on the office light then."
"I can't."
"Why not?"
"Because there's a power outage."
"A power outage? Aha, Okay, we've got it licked now. Do you still have the
boxes and manuals and packing stuff your computer came it?"
"Well, yes. I keep them in the closet."
"Good. Go get them, and unplug your system and pack it up just like it was
when you got it. Then take it back to the store you bought it from."
"Really? Is it that bad?"
"Yes, I'm afraid it is."
"Well, all right then. What do I tell them?"
"Tell them you're too damn stupid to own a computer."
Don’t know that one.Not quite as funny as the US aircraft carrier and the lighthouse, but still good.
I can quite believe this happened, though the involved countries and ships change every time I hear it.

I think the American navy have been in every version - that makes it more believable somehow...I know it's been changed over the years, but as far as I know this is the original.
No. The version I've heard a number of times involves the British Royal Navy and the Irish Coastguard. Wasn't aware that there was an American version!I think the American navy have been in every version - that makes it more believable somehow...
LOL. I should have said the Commission for Irish Lights (i.e. the lighthouses, not the Coastguard - brainfart on my part!)The British Royal Navy don't have that many ships.
